[Condor-users] Problem deleting files.

["Chris Miles" <chrismiles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Im not sure if this is something that should maybe be fixed. But since condor is using command line arguments to

delete temporary execute directories it will fall to the same problems there is from the shell when deleting a vast

amount of files. A job I have just been running created 10,000 output files. And this has caused condor to hang while

its waiting on the delete operation

 

condor   21780  3456  1 12:53 ?        00:00:00 /bin/rm -rf /home/condor/hosts/node4/execute/dir_1657

 

when i run the job manually myself I need to run

 

find . -name 'process_*' -print0 | xargs -0 rm

 

to be able to delete that amount of files.
